In seinen deutschsprachigen Predigten und Traktaten entwirft Meister Eckhart die Bewegung in Gelassenheit als einen radikal freien Lebensvollzug. Obwohl es nicht selbstverständlich ist, mit Blick auf diese Konzeption und auf mystische Literatur im Allgemeinen von 'Muße' zu sprechen, nutzt Anna Keiling das Konzept als Leitparadigma ihrer Analyse. Damit kann sie Darstellungen der Abgeschiedenheit, Gelassenheit, ledecheit und ruowe in ihrem spezifischen Zusammenhang untersuchen: Eckhart stellt traditionelle religiöse Lebensformen in Frage und propagiert anhand von Figuren wie Maria, Martha oder Elisabeth die Einheit geistig tätigen Lebens. Er eröffnet so die Möglichkeit eines freien Lebensvollzuges der Muße in jedem Kontext - ein radikaler Entwurf, der von Heinrich Seuse, Johannes Tauler oder dem Buch von geistiger Armut aufgenommen und diskutiert wird.

In light of many recent critiques of Western modernity and its conceptual foundations, the problem of adequately justifying our most basic moral and political values looms large. Without recourse to traditional ontological or metaphysical foundations, how can one affirm--or sustain--a commitment to fundamentals? The answer, according to Stephen White, lies in a turn to "weak" ontology, an approach that allows for ultimate commitments but at the same time acknowledges their historical, contestable character. This turn, White suggests, is already underway. His book traces its emergence in a variety of quarters in political thought today and offers a clear and compelling account of what this might mean for our late modern self-understanding.As he elaborates the idea of weak ontology and the broad criteria behind it, White shows how these are already at work in the thought of contemporary writers of seemingly very different perspectives: George Kateb, Judith Butler, Charles Taylor, and William Connolly. Among these thinkers, often thought to be at odds, he exposes the commonalities that emerge around the idea of weak ontology. In its identification of a critical turn in political theory, and its nuanced explanation of that turn, his book both demonstrates and underscores the strengths of weak ontology.
